Alberta's cloud-seeding pilots see 2nd busiest year in 20 yearsCBC NewsFighting hailstorms in Alberta is getting a whole lot busier, according to the people behind the Alberta Hail Suppression Project, which uses planes to fly into storms and seed clouds in order to lessen the damage caused by hail.
The insurance industry pays $3 million a year to lessen the impact of hailstorms by seeding clouds where storms are brewing, with the hope that it will result in fewer and less expensive insurance claims for hail-related damage.
The pilots who fly the cloud-seeding planes say this has been their second busiest season in nearly two decades.

Brain monitoring may improve pilots, controllersAviation WeekBillion-dollar, decade-long initiatives in the U.S. and Europe to map and simulate the entire human brain will change information technology fundamentally, and aerospace is unlikely to remain untouched. Advances in neurotechnology are already having an impact, as methods of monitoring the brain are applied to improving the performance of pilots, air traffic controllers and system operators.

Boom in helicopter leasing is good news for medevac industryBy Mark Huber The stampede to cash in on the burgeoning deepwater offshore energy market has spawned a series of helicopter-leasing companies with billions of capital to invest. Initially the deals were for just large and medium helicopters servicing the oil and gas industry, but it now looks like some of these companies are making serious efforts to penetrate the medevac and parapublic markets — and that could be good news, especially for smaller players in the industry.
